Jazz Musician REACTS | Pierce The Veil "King For A Day" | MUSIC SHED EP313

[@EzPulsy]

Fun fact: Vic is married and expecting a child with the ginger lady. They met during the filming of this music video.

[@MusicShed]

How cute

[@CreedVDOTA]

In an alternate reality, kellin is the singer of dance gavin dance. He auditioned and there's a demo floating around of Uneasy hearts featuring him.

[@jacksonarnold9669]

this! imagine how bizarre that would've been.

[@TenaciousJoe24]

It’s not bad but weird lol.

[@JordyFern]

I hate it. He belongs in his place. If Craig didn't fail at DGD, then Tilian might never have been a part. Kellin is good at what he does. Tilian is at the top of his game.

[@JordyFern]

Vic is on a whole different planet. Maybe somewhere near Kellin.

[@robbyfahrussalam7885]

I love sws but i think kellin's voice doesn't match with dgd

[@EzPulsy]

Even after 10 years, this is still one of the best songs of the genre. React to some Sleeping with Sirens please! (Kellin's band)

[@AyasaurusRexx]

All of these "King For A Day" reaction videos are coming across my recommended and I LOVE iT! Truly such a great song for people to discover Pierce The Veil (and Sleeping With Sirens)! I think for a jazz musician, their Misadventures album is something that aligns more with that genre, but Collide With The Sky is honestly their best album they've produced. Their most recent album, The Jaws of Life, is something great to listen to as well!

[@Return2TheLiving]

They are classified as Post-Hardcore but what makes them unique is they add a lot of math core elements in their early material and a lot of traditional Mexican elements throughout their career. This song is pretty devoid of those two things but a stellar track nonetheless. Unfortunately Mike (who is the drummer and Vic’s brother) has been cancelled due to some allegations and is no longer with the band. For their next album it will feature the Third Eye Blinds drummer, they were on an unspoken hiatus for about 5 years since Mikes cancelletation. Interesting tracks with great compositions I would recommend are ; “Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides” (2007) “Yeah Boy and Doll Face” (2007) “The New National Anthem” (2009) “Bulls in The Bronx” (2012) “Disasterology” (2009) “Circles” (2016) Their newest track and first single for their upcoming album is “Pass The Nirvana” was just released less than a month ago (first new music in 6 years from the band).

[@jasonm9112]

Thanks for this comment bro so much info jam packed into this I've been curious about who was laying down the drum tracks on the new album I really don't wanna see or hear anyone besides Mike but I'm glad to atleast have an awnser now

[@Return2TheLiving]

@@jasonm9112 Third Eye Blinds drummer is for the album only (Source: emonite interviewed PTV a few weeks back) . I just saw them live last week and I’m unsure of the live drummers name but I know it is definitely not him, this guy definitely has the chops to stack up to Mike though, so definitely worth seeing still.

[@jasonm9112]

Good to know man. Hopefully I can catch them I missed out on Vegas tickets when they were cheaper. I haven't seen them since they played the entire misadventures album in vegas

[@chief_mourner]

Collide with the sky has tons of great songs.

[@poopoohead4455]

i dont think its unfortunate, maybe unfortunate what he did but even then i feel that words too tame

[@MitchReecherMusic]

These guys have been working on a new album with Paul Meany, producer of Twenty One Pilots and former singer of Mutemath. I'm REALLY stoked to hear how that turns out.

[@The_KlaVra]

For me one of the things that make Pierce the Veil is the fact that they have that latino influence, you can hear some of that on their guitars or the better example "Bulls in the Bronx" goes all out of latin/flamenco music....

[@Weather_Nerd]

YES

[@sp0ngeb00b7]

The way PTV incorporate Latin American melodies and classical guitar techniques into their music makes them a ridiculous standout of the scene and IMO one of the most talented emo-adjacent bands ever. Not as obvious in this song, but trust me David, these are some talented cats! I wouldn’t wanna spoil the specific section for you, but “Bulls In The Bronx” is a huge single by them that encapsulates this perfectly. And fun fact, the red headed extra from this music video is Vic’s long term girlfriend and recently, wife! They met on the set of this video 10 years ago and just announced they are having a baby ❤️❤️

[@kristenvaughn-smith6952]

Both bands (Pierce the Veil & Sleeping With Sirens-Kellin’s band) have newer albums that are still great after all these years they’ve been out. Highly recommend checking those albums out!

[@Daniyvet1264]

“If you can’t hang” by Sleeping With Sirens (Kellin’s band) the song is awesome!!

[@sirrodriguez3549]

Pierce the Veil- Hell above, the boy who could fly, i don’t care if your contagious

[@ellie7200]

BMTH being an influence on them is definitely possible - the first time I heard about PTV and saw them live was actually when I went to a BMTH concert and they were playing support! Incredible show.

[@linkgobrrr3358]

They influenced EVERYONE during this time period to some extent.

[@richardcolmenarez8205]

PTV and BMTH has been around about the same amount of time, both bands started around 2007, I think they both have their own sound, but also happen to be in a genre where they may have some thing in common, both bands grew on the metalcore/warped tour scene, even toured together, so I think no one of them influenced each other, just play similar music, each band with their own taste

[@Return2TheLiving]

@@richardcolmenarez8205 actually Vic and Mike had a previous band together called Before Today and they were actually signed Equal Visions. Their only album was released in 2004, the sound is basically identical to what Pierce the veil is. The sonic similarities are so much that on the BF album they have a song called Pierce The Veil and on the first PTV record they have a song called Before Today and they are the same exact song. I don’t think either band knew who eachother was when they first started. If we are splitting hairs Vic and Mike had found their sound well before BMTH had gotten into the more post hardcore metalcore genre.

[@victoranleu7421]

@@Return2TheLiving I’m so happy you already schooled the kids lol both Vic & Mike were in a band with the now guitarist of Sleeping With Sirens Nick, all the way back in the early 2000s. Definitely been around longer than BMTH. Before Today was actually pretty good & was also around long before BMTH.

[@derweeblord]

@@richardcolmenarez8205 BMTH founded in 2004, PTV in 2007 but Vic and Mike started a band called Before Today back in 1998 which split-up in 2006.

[@RichardEdits]

Pierce the Veil has some stellar songs that I always come back to. Bulls in the Bronx is such a fun genre bend and New National Anthem has an explosive end that gets me hyped every time Always gotta show love for the boys from San Diego 🤙

[@ginamarie920]

omg I'll also be at the BMTH show tomorrow at Barclays! super excited

[@kvlemark]

Welcome to the pierce the veil wormhole. AMAZING BAND.

[@AlexPies1]

rabbit hole* :)

[@cancerousclouds]

10 years of loving this song and I just noticed they misspelled Switzerland in the video LOL

[@lillaaa001]

I LOVE that this song just became popular all over again, 10 years after it was released. Pierce the Veil was my favourite band in my late teens and I’m still a huge fan now 15 years later 😅 Great reaction.

[@popcornhero]

I slept on this song for a long time and now it is one of my most listened to tracks on Spotify. I love it

[@EriNxxii]

One of the most groundbreaking songs back in the day when it came out I watched the premiere come up on the internet on their website it blew my mind then it still blows my mind to this day what a duet made in rock and roll heaven what a rager all so many times blended together to make something so energetic and meaningful I wish there were more songs like this out there now being wrote

[@SingOnStreet]

Always a pleasure. Thanx💞💓💖

[@bbean2103]

I just saw these guys for the first time last week with I Prevail! This was their finale.

[@derweeblord]

This song was my entry port into Pierce the Veil's music. Got addicted immediately and it all started out as a joke when my best friend and I discussed who the higher voice had, Kellin or Vic. I went to several shows and I even got to photograph these guys during a show in Cologne in 2016. In 2012, Vic, Jaime and Tony even signed my Collide with the Sky booklet. Mike was straight away in the tour bus, though. I stayed until 1 a.m to get the artworks signed. My best friend got the signed copy of "Selfish Machines" on that day. I was at home on 3 a.m and my brother who was our driver was mad at me because he had to work later.

[@victoriavvc]

Sleeping with Sirens and Pierce the veil were both at year 1 of WWWY fest, and they did this song live and wore the suits from the music video, was super cool

[@bradzell5268]

paused at every single transition and spent a lot of the song trying to ear match notes to a keyboard. didnt hear one lyric and by the time the breakdown happened man was confused abt the robbery cuz he hadnt payed attention at all!

[@yannybananny]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO SOOOO MUCH I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF IT EVEN 10 nYEARS LATER AND MTV IS AMAZING

[@kailynelaw7311]

Comment for the algorithm! I absolutely love watching others react to older songs from these bands! Pierce the Veil is Vic's band and Kellin sings for Sleeping With Sirens, both are still bands, and in fact Pierce the Veil just released a song called Pass the Nirvana and Sleeping with Sirens is releasing an album later this month called Complete Collapse! I only talk in exclamation points apparently! Love your videos, thank you for shedding light on these alternative bands!

[@ashtonallin4458]

I am so glad you found Pierce the Veil. They have been a favorite of mine for awhile.

[@ashtonallin4458]

I’d be very interested to see you listen to some 5 Seconds of Summer. They just came out with a new album a few days ago and it is so stunning to me. Would be cool to see you listen to some of their first songs and compare them to the new ones too because the growth is CRAZY.

[@TheEditorHarry]

PTV just released a single 'Pass The Nirvana' and have been working on an album for the last few years. Kellin Quinn is the lead singer for Sleeping With Sirens, who are also still releasing new music!

[@anthonyc5995]

I started teaching drums about six months ago. You give me so many ideas on how talk to my students. Your friendly approach is so welcoming! Thanks for making great content. Second thanks for all the Dance Gavin Dance stuff! They also release everything instrumental. Total game changer

[@chrisbaltazar7164]

🇲🇽Viva Pierce the Veil🇲🇽

[@darejohnson2251]

I'm excited for this bout of cleaning out the shed. I introduced my wife to ptv years ago and she became OBSESSED

[@driftking5582]

Oh they are most definitely still a band, they’re on tour right now and possibly announcing a new album soon. You’re gonna have to check out more, I recommend Floral and Fading especially if you like music videos!

[@Swollen_Goat]

They posted on Instagram "Something big coming soon" with 3 of their portraits and 1 with legs in it like the cover of Collide. Thinking they are announcing officially the new drummer, but could also be in tandem with new album name and or release maybe.

[@bigchungus1328]

Need to check out some “Sleeping with Sirens” so you can see Kellin doing some amazing things. Everything on the albums “let’s cheers to this” and “with ears to see and eyes to hear” are wonderful and pack a punch.

[@Terron35]

Takes me back to my senior year in highschool. This album had just come out and my buddies and I got to see PTV and SWS. Kellin came out to do King For A Day with PTV for the encore and it's now a core memory.

[@t0rschlusspan1k]

I love how open and enthusiastic you are towards this genre, people are always very prejudiced, especially musicians who play more "sophisticated" music.

[@richardcolmenarez8205]

PTV is one of my favorite bands EVER, I listened to ''A Flair for the Dramatic'' when I was in high school and it totally blew my mind. I learned to sing listening to Vic's voice. HUGE impact on my perception of music. Also a fun fact about the Shaka hand sign, one theory of it's origin relates it to a Hawaiian villager, who loose 3 fingers, and when people said hi to him he waved his two fingered hand, it became popular among surfers in Hawaii and then around the world

[@thommyboy2742]

You just witnessed the greatest collab since PB+J

[@xddrex]

Awesome song, awesome band. Someone else said A Day To Remember which you definitely have to listen to. Also please check out The Void Stares Back by Enter Shikari!

[@linkgobrrr3358]

Dayshell “Letting Go” please :) It’s really right up your alley and you’d be impressed by the one man band that is Dayshell. Doing a reaction would help him out with raising awareness for his album as well!

[@ShizzyHollywood]

Always known about this band but never got around to checking them out for some reason. Loved the song/video/reaction. Hell yeah.

[@kambriggs4090]

You can tell bro really love Kellins voice 😂 every time he come on “woah” 💀💀

[@defexpenguin]

🤙is a symbol created to represent and pay respects to Shaka. EDIT: It later developed into a symbol meaning: "hang loose", "Right on", "thank you", "things are great", and "take it easy".

[@pestydesperado8771]

my first video I'm watching from you, absolutely love hearing you play along! It's a reason I love the Mercurial Number Six as well, hearing accompaniments and improvisations from talented musicians like you guys is always so unique

[@sp0ngeb00b7]

Also, it’s possible BMTH had influence on PTV, but this song predates even the Sempiternal album where BMTH’s affinity for electronics and pop sensibilities first came to light. Sempiternal includes Shadow Moses and Can You Feel My Heart! Influences PTV have listed over the years are very different, lead singer Vic says his dad taught him how to play guitar through jazz and blues, and the band as a whole is heavily into the crowd of NOFX, Pennywise, Bad Religion type of punk :)

[@MindsetMom]

If you liked this concept video, you'll love their Today I Saw the Whole World video. Not as much of a storyline, but really features the music with the visuals of a great director and the bands' personalities. My 14 yo daughter introduced me to them and we saw them live this month in San Francisco and I am now a lifetime fan. I hope they come back to the West coast soon because I am going. You will also love Carephernalia and Death of an Executioner. The Floral and Fading video is also hilarious.

[@SkippyTheBoy66]

When you were taking about vic having range yes you were correct, but when you said that you were actually speaking about Kellin Quinn who's the singer of sleeping with sirens he's the guy who sings that little pre chorus part he has the higher range. Edit: Just realized you mentioned his range lol

[@darawsonnick4449]

I just seen them in concert a few days ago. Omg so good

[@nukamolly]

there are multitudes of bands!!!

[@michaeledwards4807]

Have fun tonight! Was lucky enough to see bmth like a decade ago in the US. Glad they’re back and I’m hoping to make it in October.

[@yannybananny]

THIS SONG IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT LIFE AND POLITICS AND EVERYTHING AND YES ITS REBELLIOUS AND IT ALSO MAKEs EVERYTHING YOU COULD ONCE EVER HATE ABOUT HUMANITY SOMETHING TO LOVE AND EVERYTHING IS JUST FUNNY ON THE OTHER SIDE NOT SAD OR WEIRD. IM AM SO AMAZED PEOPLE ARE GETTING WOKE TO THIS SONG AND THEIR MUSIC SO LIKE 10 YEARS ON BUT WAKENING NONETHELESS HOPEFULLY??????

[@sarah29880]

Pierce the veil hasn’t been active for about 6 years now, but just put out a new single and started touring again! Sleeping with sirens (the one with kellin) has been fairly active but hasn’t been as popular I would say as the earlier days (early 2000ish). “If you can’t hang” was their most popular song I would say with his band! He is probably my all time fav singer.

[@cheemsdog7071]

Such an amazing song

[@708wheeler708]

They actually wrote this song in my home town on vacation in Big Bear Lake CA. Fun fact the drummer is actually Vic’s brother!

[@roasty3164]

Your addition of the keyboard always makes the song so much better! But yeah I love PTV. As for your question, I think BMTH had influence on a lot of bands back in the day! I recommend you listen to some old bmth music. It's what I grew up with! It's fun to see how much they've changed. Good song to listen to would be Chelsea smile

[@davidzietlow3480]

Just got to see them on their tour with iprevail last Friday and it was awesome

[@the_spider_king]

if you plan on listening to some more of them i recommend “bulls in the bronx” or “i don’t care if you’re contagious”. there are some really unique chord progressions in both of those

[@aajj7614]

Yesssss been requesting this vid for ages

[@evangalinsky2499]

I LITERALLY just heard this live (without Kellin) in Oshkosh during I Prevail's True Power tour. It was fucking awesome.

[@skyetheuniversalspy]

I think it’s pretty crazy that you’ve never heard of PTV. Maybe it’s just because they’re such a large part of my music taste but they’re great

[@JDT2893]

Do some A Day To Remember!! Very much in this genre but different type of screams and they have a few different styles

[@Swollen_Goat]

PTV has been one of my favorite bands since I first saw them at Warped Tour back in 08. Not a single song on any of their 4 albums is bad to me and they have so many elements that make them standout from the normal pop punk/emo bands that they started with. So hyped for a new album finally after so many years!

[@SineRose]

I think you'd like "Today I Saw The Whole World", is my favorite song by them, the riffs, the drums, the whole song is a "MUST" when it comes to write punk/post-hardcore Loving your videos from Venezuela!

[@yannybananny]

ALOT OF PIERCE THE VEILS MUSIC IS PRETTY AMAZING BUT I WILL SAY THIS WAS JUST THE FIRST SONG OF THEIR THAT BLEW UP IN THE COMMUNITY AT THE TIME... A MATCH INTO WATER HELL ABOVE HOLD ON TILL MAY and many more were also blowing up at the time of their release much like this song

[@TrooperSixtyFour]

Kellin Quinn who has the high vocals is the vocalist of Sleeping with Sirens. I'm not sure if you've reacted to them before

[@LukaTheDon77]

Gotta react to Unprocessed, their guitarist and lead vocalist is on Tim Henson’s level of talent. I’d suggest Haven for a heavier side, or Orange Grove for a more upbeat softer song. They can do anything.

[@sportsboyjon]

I love how you say there are different approaches to writing the bridge for a song. It can build or release tension. You stopped the bridge halfway through to say they build the tension. But they were only half done. They built it AND released it. The last line of the bridge is "close your eyes and rest in peace!!" Thats not a buid up. Thats a conclusion on its own.

[@TeamEmperor]

"The "hang ten" hand sign, also known as the "shaka" or "hang loose" sign, is a Hawaiian gesture that involves extending the thumb and pinky finger while curling the other three fingers and waving. The hand can be presented front or back, and the wrist can be rotated back and forth to emphasize the gesture. The shaka is often used to convey friendly messages, such as "hang loose", "right on", "thank you", "things are great", "take it easy", "aloha", "greeting", "gratitude", "assent", and "defusing tension". It's also commonly used to express camaraderie and is an important part of Hawaiian culture and the surfing community."

[@fairyfanatic12]

Check out literally any of their songs from the album "Collide with the Sky" and you will not be disappointed !

[@simpingmg206]

i enjoed this video reaction, thank u sm!!

[@tomguest7806]

I reckon the shed would love Bulls in the Bronx even more. Reeaally outline the variety in PTV music

[@hyperfractal4711]

Not sure if anyone else covered this? I’m in Australia, we call that hand sign 🤙 a “shaka” which generally expresses approval when something cool is happening. I think it also means “hang loose” from surf culture! I hope I’m right, haha

[@dominicyolo7750]

I'm Hella early and love it, love ur reactions, simple and short but very useful information in ur videos if u pay attention

[@srths8868]

Completely baffed that you didn't know who Peirce the veil were, but also fair point because there's doooo many bands so I'm also not surprised cause idk lots of bands too, love the content tho as always ♥️

[@MeAreTheKitty]

Pierce the veil with bring me the horizon was actually my first concert, interesting that u compare them

[@Jonathan_Lawyer]

I never clicked so fast

[@Adamcallsaces]

Caraphernalia by PTV next PLEASE!

[@suttonmaeivysmith9831]

Oh my teenage years ❤

[@JDocking]

Only fair to look into 'Sleeping with Sirens'

[@stewartjaquess287]

Great pic for the throwback ❤

[@elmomr7844]

My favourite band!

[@moneytowers]

Is anyone else dying to see a reaction to the new Lorna Shore single? An absolutely beautiful deathcore ballad

[@13DollarBill.]

The video made me tear up a little

[@laurielefcort6604]

Awesome to hear exactly what I think. PTV has blown me away with Jaws of Life. I find I’m listening to the entire album again and again. The writing is so unique & brilliant. No one writes like Vic Fuentes. The music - where do I start? This humble band is perfection personified. I just saw them a few weeks back and I’m still high off the show. Thanks for your opinion. Seems to me you’re usually not wrong.

[@ccemeteryy]

haha hubert got pranked (i've watched this music video at least 23 times and i say this every time)

[@jimenezlisa]

Love PTV! Pass the Nirvana is very good too. Buttttt listen to Brutus!!! Belgian band with female drummer who also sings. Live version of War is amazing.

[@Alexia-dr3it]

First time i heard this song i was 15. I'll turn 24 in 4 days. That feel freaking weird xD

[@andybischoff6994]

Another good one is Tangled in the great escape by PTV. The featured singer on that one is amazing, Jason Butler (letlive. and now Fever333) one of the best singers I’ve ever heard. Very jazz influenced but punk at the same time

[@zcounts]

blessings!

[@brettgeorge3911]

Kellin is the lead singer of Sleeping with Sirens who has a similar style to these guys and BMTH but a little different, you should check some of their stuff out

[@arrongumbrell539]

Random fact this bank location also appears in a Green Day music video. Something I noticed awhile ago.

[@Ennui.]

Kellin Quinn is the singer from Sleeping With Sirens... You've gotta check out "If you can't hang" by them!

[@darthvader5832]

Finally pierce the veil he should do dayseeker as well

[@yannybananny]

THANK YOU FOR APPRECIATING IT MUSICALLY AND ALL! AND YES WE DO LEARN EVERYDAY! THROUGH GODS WILL! I STUDIED MUSIC IN HIGH SCHOOL THEROY AND IN PRACTICE AND TECH AND THIS WAS A MAJOR BANGER BACK IN MY DAY LOL I MAY SOUND LIKE A GEASER ALREADY TO THE NEW GENS

[@adrierek]

You should really react to bulls in the Bronx it’s the best introduction to this band

[@ThrashDawg]

I love your insights and commentary (like the double time stuff). Good stuff, new sub here

[@TenaciousJoe24]

Would love to see more reactions for their videos! Should also do Dayshell really talented underrated guy!

[@jawniiboi2494]

See a lot of people recommending more PTV songs, but in terms of lyrical content I'll always be partial to A Match Into Water. In terms of musical structure it's pretty similar to King for a Day as they're off the same album, but A Match Into Water is an intense song that tells the story of losing a loved once to illness. Pretty interesting clash of sound and topic.

[@sarah29880]

Agree for sure hard to beat that one

[@sarah29880]

Only other one I would say is “Hold on till May” just with the story and vocals

[@downpour1290]

Please delve into their discography man, really great stuff! And also different than a lot of generic post-hardcore sounds

[@mhioca7279]

While we are in the ptv, bmth space I recommend Don Broco! High energy like ptv but a bit more experimental like bmth. Definitely recommend the orchestral version of one true prince as you liked the doomed orchestral version!!

[@sleepynik9]

No music video (hope they release one) but they have a new song recently after a couple years hiatus

[@_JonLeal]

They just released a new song on the past few days "Pass the nirvana" its quite different, but its realy good!
